Chapter 307: The Qin Army that suspended its attack

"Where is the Deng army?" On March 28, 20th year of Qianyuan, at the entrance of Fucheng City, the general of Shu army Jiang Huang had just repelled the Qin army's attacks. He happened to meet the messenger sent by Wu Qin and hurriedly asked him about the location of Deng army. It was too difficult. The Shu army had been in Fucheng for almost a month. Although he repelled the Qin army's attacks several times, his own casualties were also very large, and the war losses were almost one to one. This war losses were a very exaggerated number in the offensive and defensive battle, but this was indeed the result of the Shu army.

"When General returned to the general, when Bei Zhi left, Deng's army had arrived in Anhan. According to the line, Deng's army should be in seven days." The messenger quickly informed Jiang Huang of Deng's itinerary.

"Seven days, seven days left, fortunately, I can hold on!" Jiang Huang was relieved when he heard that the Deng army had arrived in seven days. Fucheng had a bloody battle of one month, and there were only less than 30,000 Shu troops left, which was a loss of nearly 50%. The Qin army also lost 30,000 people, and they fought fiercely between each other. However, according to this number, the Shu army was completely at a disadvantage.

However, there are nearly 30,000 people, and it is not a big problem to hold on for seven days. However, what Jiang Huang doesn’t know is how many Shu troops will be left after seven days.

At this time, the Qin army already knew the news that Deng's army entered Shu. They originally planned to break through Fucheng in one go, defeat the main force of the Shu army, and then head straight to Chengdu. However, they did not expect that although the Shu army was not very strong, they were so tenacious when resisting. Wang Feng estimated that it would be difficult for them to break through Fucheng before the Deng army arrived, so the Qin army slowly slowed down the offensive and preserved their strength. Because the ownership of Shu next depends on whether the Qin army can defeat Deng's army.

Due to the continuous strong attacks, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and the current force of the army was afraid that it would be ineffective in dealing with the Deng army. Therefore, Wang Feng sent a message to Chang'an, hoping that the King of Qin would increase his troops to Bashu. Now he finally entered Shu, but he could not give up just because of the Deng army, so he still had to fight.

In the Qin army camp, Wang Feng said to Meng Chengting: "Second Prince, I will receive the news that your elder brother has sent someone to Wancheng for help. Now that the Deng army has entered Shu, the battle has started to stir again."

"Damn Deng State, what does it have to do with him in the internal affairs of our Great Shu? He actually came to join in the fun!" Meng Chengting cursed with a gloomy face. An internal battle between Shu State actually led to the two powerful countries in the world, which Meng Chengting had unexpectedly expected.

Seeing that Meng Chengting's face was not very good, Wang Feng comforted him: "The second prince, don't worry. I have sent someone back to Chang'an to ask my king to send reinforcements to Sichuan to help the war. As long as my Qin lion arrives, the mere Deng army will not be able to make any storms."

Meng Chengting nodded and said, "Then General Wang, I wonder what we are going to do next?" Now Deng's army has entered Sichuan, but Wang Feng's letter of help has not yet arrived in Chang'an, so Meng Chengting really wants to know what Wang Feng plans to do next.

Wang Feng thought for a while and said, "According to our general's estimate, the Deng army is expected to arrive in Fucheng within ten days, so our army must stop and accumulate strength, otherwise even if it breaks through Fucheng, it will not be able to defeat Deng's army." Wang Feng could not have expected that Deng's country would actually send troops into Shu. Moreover, Wang Feng estimated that Deng's purpose was the same as Qin State. He took the opportunity to annex Shu territory in the name of seeking assistance to Shu Kingdom. Therefore, this time was nominally a battle between Shu Kingdom and Qin State for Shu, but in fact it was a great battle between Deng and Qin State for Shu. The final ownership of Shu could only be between Deng and Qin. From the moment Deng and Qin entered Shu one after another, Shu Kingdom had already sounded the death knell.

Hearing Wang Feng's words, Meng Chengting nodded. He also knew that the best way now is to keep the troops in a stable manner, to gather strength, and fight Deng Jun in the best condition, so he said, "Okay, everything will be heard from General Wang. I am tired, so I will go down and rest first. If General Wang has anything to do, you can send someone."

"Okay, the second prince rests with peace of mind. There will be no major war in the near future." Wang Feng smiled and looked at Meng Chengting's departure back. Wang Feng once again felt sad for Meng Chengting, fought for all his life, and in the end he was just making wedding dresses for others.

The next day, the Qin army did not attack again, but built fortifications around the camp. Jiang Huang on the top of the city felt very strange, but he soon felt relieved. The Qin army was waiting for the arrival of Deng army. In other words, before Deng army came to Fucheng, the Qin army would remain unmoved. This made Jiang Huang breathe a sigh of relief. After nearly a month of hard work, the Shu army had already reached the verge of collapse. Now that the Qin army stopped the attack, he could also take the opportunity to rest.

At this time, Chang Yuchun's army had already arrived in Guanghan City and was recuperating here. Along the way, Chang Yuchun truly felt that the road to Shu was difficult and difficult than the saying of Qingtian. Although Wu Qin led the way, the rugged road was far beyond Chang Yuchun's imagination. Chang Yuchun thought that if the Shu army had not opened the door on its own initiative and Wu Qin led the way, he might not have been able to reach this place for a year.

So Chang Yuchun also made up his mind to conquer the entire Shu area this time no matter what. Otherwise, if Deng Jun missed this opportunity, he would not know how much time, manpower and material resources would be consumed. Now, thinking about the hardships along the way, Chang Yuchun was still scared.

"Wu Situ, how long will it take for us to get to Fucheng?" Chang Yuchun asked Wu Qin on the march. Although there is a map, the map of this era is similar to that of no other map. Shu has always been closed. Unless there are locals in Shu, you will never know how long it takes to get to the next place.

Wu Qin replied: "General Chang, now we have passed Guanghan. We walk north along the Fushui River. We can reach Fucheng in less than five days." Wu Qin has lived in Shu for decades. When he was young, he also traveled to the famous mountains and rivers of Bashu, so he is still very familiar with Shu. Since he said it will take less than five days, it is naturally true.

Chang Yuchun nodded, and then said to Guan Yu on the side: "General Guan, pass on the order and the whole army will accelerate!"

"Here!" Guan Yu responded, then went down to pass the order. After Guan Yu left, Chang Yuchun asked Li Jing again: "General Li, I wonder where all the troops of our army are now?"

Li Jing replied: "Return to the general, according to the scout's return, our army has now passed Yufucheng and came to Fucheng in batches. The 40,000 people from the head of General Deng Qiang, who is closest to our army, must have passed Anhan at this moment."

Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "General Li, what do you think is the situation in Fucheng now?" In the past, Chang Yuchun and Li Jing had no contact, but along the way, Chang Yuchun discovered that Li Jing was very capable. Although he didn't know how to fight, Chang Yuchun felt that Li Jing's military strategy was not inferior to Yue Fei, and Li Jing was still very young. He had just passed his thirty years old. In time, he would definitely become another leading figure in the Deng State military. Chang Yuchun was very optimistic about Li Jing.

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "General, the last general believes that the Qin army no longer attacked Fucheng at this time, and it is very likely that it has stopped all its actions and is waiting for our army to arrive."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Chang Yuchun asked.

"General, now our army has entered Shu, and it is coming in a fierce manner. If the Qin army continues to attack Fucheng at this moment, even if we can break Fucheng before our army arrives, they will suffer heavy losses. After our army arrives, they will not be able to defend Fucheng. Therefore, in order to better fight with our army, the Qin army will definitely stop all its actions. Retain strength and wait for work to fight our army in the best condition." Li Jing expressed his thoughts.

Chang Yuchun nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Li Jing's idea coincided with him. Now that Deng's army is entering Shu in a large scale, as long as the chief general of the Qin army has a little wisdom, he will give up the idea of ​​attacking Fucheng and preserve his strength. Otherwise, how can he fight with himself?

"That's fine, otherwise I would probably win without force. I often heard that the Qin army had amazing combat power. I would have to have a good experience this time. It's a pity that this time it was not Bai Qi and Meng Zhan, otherwise I really wanted to fight with them." Chang Yuchun smiled and felt regretful. Why was it not Meng Zhan or Bai Qi this time? It was really hard for Wang Feng to make him interested.
